Misinformation

Drivechain is a strict improvement - it benefits all Bitcoiners and has no downsides.

Nonetheless, it has many enemies:

*Altcoiners (who want their alt investment to do well).

*The Anti-Alt Bitcoin Immune System (which is misfiring in this case).

*Rival L2s (who prioritize their equity/prestige, over Bitcoin’s success).

*People who are publicly known to be DC-haters, and who will now be humiliated if it succeeds.

Here are some of the misconceptions which they spread:

1. DRIVECHAINS BRING “SH&!COINS TO BITCOIN” 🤡

2. BIP300 WILL CHANGE BITCOIN INTO SOMETHING ELSE 🤡

3. MINERS CAN STEAL FROM BIP300 SIDECHAINS 🤡

4. DRIVECHAIN CHANGES MINERS’ INCENTIVES: 🤡

5. ALTCOINS ARE ONLY FOR SCAMMING, NEVER FOR INNOVATION! DON’T YOU KNOW?? 🤡

6. DRIVECHAIN IS FUNDED BY VCS! 🤡

7. WHY ARE PEOPLE RUSHING THIS??? 🤡

8. ISN’T BITCOIN ALREADY PERFECT?! WHY RAIN ON OUR PARADE? THINKING IS FOR NERDS!! 🤡

The common misconceptions are explained in detail here:

What is the misconception about item number 7 on your list?

Why now is a fair question.

"***7. WHY ARE PEOPLE RUSHING THIS??? 🤡***

It isn’t rushed at all. It is 8 years old.

Read the literature page to see just how slowly things have gone, overall.

People are pushing Drivechain in late 2023, because the 2021-2023 BS narratives (S2F, LN, institutions) are collapsing and they want something new."

Why now?

Why not now ? What's your objection for now?

Aaron 2y ago

“Why not now” isn’t a good enough argument.

Also, the age of the research doesn’t tell me why now. It just says you’ve been thinking about it for some time.

It feels like the answer to the “why now” question is because your commercial success is dependent upon it.

Healthy skepticism receiving 🤡 emojis shows how you perceive others, and will not make the case for your BIPs.

When will you write a BIP that will scale bitcoin and when will you write the pull request to Bitcoin core?

Aaron 2y ago

Again, you’re not making your case; your deflection tactics are juvenile.

You’re letting your frustration, caused by your inability to make a defensible case, drive you to a point where nobody will engage with you, let alone activate these BIPs.
